Those who are willing to spend the cash and have maybe a less reliable cell will have more power on you.
Truth is, doesn't matter what the labels say. Put a few runs on IBs that have 1.245 printed on the label, then cycle them on a GFX. They certainly won't be 1.245 per cell any longer. Thats the good thing about the EPs, they remain somewhat consistent after a bunch of charges. Maybe they are not quite as powerful right out of the box, but they're better in the long-run... whether that be 3, 5, or 8 cycles after assembly.
